Music from Ballet Onegin

Every time I watch the ballet Onegin, its music takes over my head and I can't stop humming the phrases for months. I had to search for the original music to put in my iPhone, and want to share with all Onegin fans what I have found.

Please share if you have found anything I have missed!

I also made a Youtube playlist, excluding short passages or different arrangement.



If you prefer to listen to the arranged score used in Onegin, not the original scores, you can easily purchase the CD or MP3. It seems that you can download the mp3 for free if you purchase the CD from Amazon.
(I have purchased the CD from amazon.co.uk but it seems I'm not eligible to download the mp3 because I don't have UK address.)

Full score, recorded by Staatsorchester Stuttgart 
amazon.com: Only available at Marketplace at the moment

MP3 download:

I want to thank pianist Franco Trabucco, who uploaded rare pieces of Tchaikovsky which can be found nowhere else.
